Keeping Cheney Beautiful 2015

For the 8th year in a row, the Cheney community is invited to help out one morning in April to put the shine & polish on our city! Here's the plan for Clean Sweep 2015:

Volunteers check in at Veterans' Memorial Park between 8:30 and 8:50 a.m., have a pastry and a cup of coffee or juice (compliments of Edward Jones Investments) and then spread out throughout Cheney looking for litter.

Volunteers can return to Veterans' Memorial Park at 12:00 for FREE lunch, and to pick up a bag of thank-you offers from our sponsors!

Dumpster Drop-Off Locations - NEW Hours, 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.: To encourage residents in their Spring Cleaning efforts, two drop-off locations will be available for disposal of household garbage, construction debris and fencing, and metals, such as BBQs, bike frames, etc. (but no furniture, please!) Drop-Off Sites are open to residents of the Cheney Utilities service areas; may need to provide proof of residency, such as a copy of your utility bill, to use this service. Visit the drop-off bins at Amazing Grace Fellowship, 416 Betz Road, or on Presley Drive, across from Fire District #3.

Shredfest: Dispose of personal documents safely by visiting the United Data Securitytruck parked at the Cheney Federal Credit Union, 520 1st Street, from 9 a.m. to noon. To be accepted, papers should be clean, free of paper clips and staples, and limited to the equivalent of 3 paper grocery bags per person. The Credit Union will also be accepting donations for the Cheney Food Bank during the Shredfest!

New in 2015: Household Hazardous Waste may be dropped off at the Emerald Services truck parked at the Recycling Center, 100 Anderson Road, from 9 a.m. to noon. This is for disposal of household chemicals such as paints, solvents, antigreeze, batteries, oils, transmission fluids, and pool chemicals.

Volunteers will comb the streets of Cheney on the morning of Saturday, April 18, picking up litter in the public right-of-way, to give our town a 'spring facelift.' This is a great project for Scout troops, church groups, families and neighborhoods!

If you can spend a few hours to help beautify our community, you can RSVP online on our Events page.

If you are willing to be a team leader, helping to organize volunteers, please contact Brett Lucas at 498-9221.

Apparel: Please wear clothing that fits the task of walking and doing yard work outdoors. April can bring cool mornings and warmer afternoons, so be sure to wear long pants and have a light jacket or sweatshirt handy. (No sandals or open-toed shoes, for safety reasons.)

Individual commitment to a group effort -- that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
